Back of the Box:
    There's a new kid in town. Funnyman Adam Sandler stars in Mr. Deeds, the hilarious re-make of the classic Mr. Deeds Goes To Town.
    Small-town guy Longfellow Deeds (Sandler) goes to the big city to collect a $40 billion inheritance from a long lost uncle. Living in a palatial mansion with the services of an unusual personal butler (John Turturro) isn't too bad. Things get even better when he meets a beautiful school nurse (Winona Ryder). But money changes everything, and things aren't what they seem - his sweetie is actually a journalist feeding reports of his outrageous behavior to the press! Now, it's up to Deeds to straighten everybody out - with a few right hooks and lots of common sense.

Notes:

• The helicopter featured in the film was a Sikorsky S-92, which was still listed as "under develpotment" and di not have FAA approval, as a result no actors were allowed in the chopper and all interior shots had to be faked.
